Help ID this 2 1/2 shilling small iron token?

This came in a larger group of mostly "normal" coins that was about half from Great Britain. There's not a whole lot to go on from the token itself. It's iron (magnetic), 16 mm. For lack of a better idea, I'm thinking maybe some sort of WWII emergency money? Does this ring any bells with anyone?

I'd assume it's a piece of play money.
